"A dazzling vineyard! Splendid, according to RVF."

"Chevalerie 2019 is one of Bourgueil's most resplendent expressions. A ripe, refined, intense bouquet opens onto a magnificent velvety palate, with a chalky sensation on the tongue, leading to admirable depth that will evolve serenely over the coming decades. Splendid! We are more touched than ever by these wines of unforgettable sincerity" (Le Guide RVF 2024).

About wine:

Chevalerie 2019 is one of Bourgueil's most resplendent expressions. A ripe, refined, intense bouquet opens onto a magnificent velvety palate, with a chalky sensation on the tongue, leading to admirable depth that will evolve serenely over the coming decades. Splendid! We are more touched than ever by these wines of unforgettable sincerity.

About the estate:

Emmanuel Caslot and his sister Laurie lovingly and meticulously continue the work of thirteen generations in this historic Bourgueil estate. Here, Cabernet Franc is vinified with real gentleness to express the nuances of the sandy, clay, and limestone terroirs of the lower, middle, and upper slopes. Each label is judiciously adorned with a color that reflects the intensity and complexity of the wine: from bright red for the Peu Muleau to deep purple for the Grand-Mont. These absolute references in Bourgueil highlight the fine, cool austerity of Cabernet Franc, cloaked in a magnificent smooth texture. Let's salute the bottle aging in the tuffeau cellars before they are released for sale.
